Takes a while to build, quite sturdy but dont get too cry about quality its not expensive, if you like the minimalistic look just get it dont worry about the bad reviews Perfect size and color for my needs.
Got this and assembled in a couple hours. It is very solid. Most beds have a little jiggle/sway. Those small motions get magnified in a taller structure but its still no big deal. By comparison, this is much more solid and less squeaky than the ubiquitous stacking wooden beds that many of us had in the 70s.
As with many such projects, its great to have a cordless drill/screw driver when you are making this. The small shelf in the picture is not there, but the desk is large and really useful (great as a desk and strengthens the structure). As others have indicated, the ladder is a bit uncomfortable. We used foam pipe insulation around it and my daughter thinks its great. The bed is in a corner, and we also used some of the same kind of foam padding to pad the top corner of the bunk (wrapped around the back corner of the top of one leg). This is because the baseboards keep the corner leg about 3/8 inches away from the corner of the walls. A little padding up top closes that gap and helps stabilize the bed.
The support bars for the mattress come with clever, strong plastic clips that help minimize noise, vibrations, and movement.
We painted the black squares on the top rails the same lavender color as my daughters room. It rally softened the beds appearance and tied it into the room.
We used a 5 thick mattress, but after seeing it in place, we would have had no worries with a 6 mattress. I love it!!
After reading the other reviews I was nurvous about buying this item. However I am very happy that I did! Got here fast, packaging was neat and orderly the hard wear was clearly labeled and the instructions were easy to follow. If you grew up building Legos this is an easy assemble its a giant Lego set. Only thing we noticed on the desk top the front holes do not line up. No big deal the back ones do and its not wobbly or uneven not a huge problem. Its not at all shaky like the others reviewd just make sure you go back and tighten the screws. Other then that pretty dang good item for the price! Buy away! Would definitely buy again!
Easily could be 5 stars, but I gave it a 4 for two reasons. First, the bunk is very high. With 8 ceilings it doesnt leave a grown child much room. I wouldnt put a child much younger than 8 years old because of how high it is. It doesnt have much side to side support to keep the bunk from swaying back and forth a bit. Not a big deal, but like I said I wouldnt put a very small/young child up on the bunk. It takes time to put together, but overall is pretty easy. It does look great and it does provide ample room for sitting or sleeping on the futon. very reasonably priced as well.
I bought this from a friend and I was shocked how sturdy it is compared to other bunk beds our isnt wobbly or anything Considering buying another in a year or so for my kiddos that are too young for bunk beds at the moment Cute and comfortable
I put my bed below and use the top bunk as shelving over my bed. Upon assembly I left out the front railing for easy access to items. With a normal bed frame below, there is a fair clearance for your head when sitting up under the top bunk. Table is useful for TV remotes, drinks, books, etc. Perfect for what I am using it for. I do not use the later yet that is important to instal upon assembly for structure. Love, love, love it!
Ordered this Bunk Bed in Gray for my Son and his 7 year old son for week end stays. I shopped many stores in person and online prior to making this purchase. I saw many that were too flimsy and small diameter of rods to make the bed structure. Some had very little support in the top bunk for the mattress support also. I also noticed a lot of the beds bracing was very very limited and thin on the sides where the bed connected. Which made the bed wable more.
The bed and mattresses arrived promptly.
About an hour of set/up time.
I also ordered the black queen 8 Futon mattress and the black 6 Signature Sleep twin mattress. I was really surprised that the mattresses fit perfect! I am a Tempur Pedic gal so I was a little bit concerned about the feel and quality of the mattresses for the price, but I took a chance. I use regular twin mattress pad and sheets for the bunk and queen pad and sheets for the futon. My Son said he has really slept well on the Futon and my 7 year old grandson loves the bunk.
There is a little wobble in the bed when you go up the ladder but nothing that is concerning.
The height of our ceiling also in this room is 8 so you will need to be sure that you have a place to fit the bed that will have clearance of an overhead light or ceiling fan. Hope this helps. I was very excited to receive!
This is my third one of these futon bunk beds. I have had different color combinations, but always this bed. I am so happy with these beds. They are durable and stable (so long as you follow directions and anchor the upper bunk to the wall with the included hardware). Folding the futon is super easy. We still have all three of these beds and they work great for our kids (we have four).
This one is slightly different than the other two that we have. But, the basics are the same and the quality is still there. I absolutely recommend these beds for kids rooms. Even for only one kid, so they can have a twin bed to sleep on and a sofa for their room that works as a bed when needed. Highly recommended. SO happy!

A good purchase. Like both bed and desk.

A bit too tall for our liking, but a good purchase overall.

Highly Recommended For Kids Rooms
